LA job search strategy for new graduate

Published

Does anyone who lives in the LA area have any job-hunting advice for a new nurse that's headed to the LA area?

Thanks in advance!

Nothing LA-specific for the job search, but I will say this: you'll want to make sure you either have a job in hand before you move, or that you have the financial resources to support yourself for a while out here and/or to move back home, if necessary. The job market in LA for new grads is pretty brutal right now.

Thanks Coffee Nurse & Iperkrn!

I really appreciate the quick responses. I checked out Glendale's Website and I don't think they have their new grad job posting up yet. I will keep checking!

I applied to Glendale Memorial Hospital early this week and just checked their website-- it's still posted. They have ED, med/surg oncology, and telemetry. When you go to their career page, scroll down to "registered nurse-new grad"... its something along those lines. Good luck!
